HBM 4 Ireland
Participate in the HBM4IRE Citizen Survey for Ireland. The HBM4IRE project at University College Dublin, funded by the EPA, is underway. We seek your opinions on chemicals of concern to help evaluate the possibility of establishing a national human biomonitoring program in Ireland. Human biomonitoring measures chemicals in body fluids (e.g. urine, blood) to assess population exposure levels.
